No need to thank me, its what I do (/me paints other frag grenades like pretty easter eggies)
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
Yes it would, including bus passengers, etc. But if it ensured greater adoption of hands free cell use, so what?

What's wrong with enforcing the hands free law for drivers? If needed, increase the penalty to revocation of license at first offense. No need to penalize everyone for a few stupid people.
One of these days, in the not so distant future, a state/locality is.going to find
themselves crossing the still undetermined line and the cell phone lobby is going to go to
the FCC, who will probably determine that states/localities/USDOT have no jurisdiction
over cell phones, since they are RF transceivers. AND can only be regulated by the FCC.

Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
Agreed. Just a matter of time.
And WE all know that we can trust the good, fair & impartial judgement of the FCC staff to properly regulate the use of... of... of... sorry, can't quit laughing, never mind.

It is probably a moot point; Sprint is going to decommission IDEN anyway. Then it *will* be a cellular phone.
Yes, IDEN is on the way out. Too bad, as it works really well.
Enforcing hands free devices will not work, not enough eyes on the road. Enforcing it by making it NOT WORK for the driver somehow is the best way. Kind of like enforcing seat belts is tough, but airbags work without the interaction of a the driver. Yes, I am very aware that airbags work best with seatbelts on.
Finding out about cell use after the accident is like finding out about seatbelt use... if it's after the accident, where's the prevention? Driving is a privilege, but most people act like it's a right. Just ask that tailgater that's all pissed off that you are in their way, dammit!

Yeah... the cell industry here is SLOWLY moving to GSM (which, in fact IS the GLOBAL standard). AFAIK, only the US, Canada, Mexico (and they're converting to GSM at breakneck speed), Japan and MAYBE a few other countries are still widely using CDMA/TDMA.
